further accentuated by its hardy growth and the durability 

 and value of its timber. 



Eucalyptus rostrata, however, possesses all its virtues 

 and 4s a much more attractive tree. 



Fine samples of Eucalyptus tereticornis may be seen 

 at Paradise nurseries, Pasadena, and at Mr. Rindge's gar- 

 den, cor. Nevada and Ocean Avenues, Santa Monica. At 

 this latter place it is mixed in with Eucalyptus rostratas 

 and the two can be seen together. A characteristic differ- 

 ence of these two is in the flower caps. Those of Euca- 

 lyptus rostrata are contracted to a sharp point and curved 

 like a beak, whence the name rostrata. Those of Euca- 

 lyptus tereticornis are obtuse, oblong and larger. 



EUCALYPTU5 EUGENIOIDE5, 



Eucalyptus eugenioides is a tree attaining about 200 

 feet in height. It grows gregariously, generally upon poor 

 uplands or on sandy places. It is a valued timber tree of 

 South Eastern Australia. The bark is rough, persistent 

 and useful for mats and primitive roofing. It could be 

 used for cordage. The name is derived from the claimed 

 superior beauty of the Eugenioides foliage to that of most 

 of the Eucalypti. The foliage is denser and greener than 

 is usual in the genus. The seedling of this tree is very 

 attractive. The stem and branches are covered with soft 

 hair, and the leaves are beautifully serrated.
